A double-cutaway with a laminated flamed maple top and distinctive PAF tone.

With its dual Kent Armstrong humbuckers and semi-hollow construction the EX-DC is built with versatility in mind. The EX-DC can span multiple musical genres from jazz to rock 'n' roll without breaking a sweat. Includes case.

I found this guitar to be very well made, with a beautiful art deco design theme. It sounded very good even for over-driven blues or rock solo tones. However, I had to return it to MFriend for one reason. I think the guitar came with 010 gauge strings, which I don't use. I replaced the strings with 009s. The weird thing was that the 009s felt like heavier gauge strings! I had to apply more pressure when picking and strumming than I do with my PRS Custom 22 and Gibson Lucille guitars. When I went back to those guitars I found myself picking and strumming too hard. I really wanted to keep the D'Angelico, but couldn't because of this weird situation.

I've been trying out many guitars and types, but this one is a keeper. Beautiful sound, design and workmanship. I get compliments on it wherever I go. It's labeled with Made in Korea, but the Company must watch quality control very closely.

I've been playing guitar for ~17 years and never considered semi-hollow bodies. All the ones I've played just didn't feel right in my hands. And on the rare case they DID feel nice, they had a Gibson emblem on the headstock and cost upwards of $3000. I picked this guitar up on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. Unplugged it sounds full and bright and plugged in, you get a sweet, warm sound that takes VERY well to gain. Finding the feedback sweet-spot is pretty easy and notes just hang out as long as you want them to. The pickups are on the hot side (hotter than my Strat anyways), so this is good for classic rock/jam-band stuff, blues, jazz, and anything where you'd want a warm tone with a little grit.
